Acoustic Impendences in this Ultrasound Imaging problem

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving an ultrasound imaging problem involving acoustic impedances. Participants express confusion about plotting the amplitude of echoes and the appropriate range for R, which should be between 0 and 1. Guidance is provided on how to plot the graphs of T^2R^3 and T^4R against R, emphasizing the need to use T = 1 - R. Additionally, a discrepancy in acoustic impedance values is noted, impacting the calculations, and a minor correction regarding terminology is mentioned. Clarifications and corrections are essential for accurately addressing the homework problem.

Homework Statement
Problem:a)Plot amplitude of Echoes 3 and 4 as a variety of R = 0-1. Discuss reasonable range of R which is suitable for imaging.
b) R=|z1-z2|/(z1+z2) (acoustic impedances: z1 and z2). Calculate acoustic impedances of fat, water, and other materials composed of human body from multiplication of density by sound speed. Discuss the differences of reflection coefficients between the area 1, which contains water and the other area 2, which contains fat.
c)Discuss about real imaging, by considering the difference in problem b)

Answer:
I don't understand about a and c. I just tried to solve b but my answer is still lacking for part b. Can anyone guide me about how to solve these problems and what I did wrong in part b.

I don't understand about a
It is asking you to plot graphs of ##T^2R^3## and ##T^4R## against R, over the range ##0<R<1##, given that ##T=1-R##.

For b, https://www.schoolphysics.co.uk/age16-19/Sound/text/Acoustic_impedance/index.html gives a slightly lower value for ##z_{fat}##, making about a 14% difference to the answer. But you should work with whatever values you were given.
You have mistyped a sign in the denominator.

Btw, the word is "artefact", not "arch-fact".
 
Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'
(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
